Like a rocket baby

Yesterday, Justin, Jim and I went to Busch Gardens. I have been going to amusement parks and riding roller-coasters for the last 10+ years so I have a lot to compare it to. Overall, I think it is a great park, it is so interesting to see the combination of zoo/rides, where at one point I was staring out at what looked like the Serengeti Desert with roller-coaster tracks in the background. The Kumba and the Montu were my favorite and had me seeing stars by the end of it.

Justin and Jim waited-in the soak zone for the Sheikra ride (it has two incredible drops)

Check out Justin and Jim getting amped with the frequent soakzone visitors. Median age 10? Very fun.
We still have a lot more to see but since we have 2 year passes, I don't think that will be a problem.


Usually, when it comes to Nala, no news is good news. She has definitely made strides in her adjustment over the last few days. Her adjustment would not have been complete however, without marking her territory all over our new bed/bedding.

She enjoyed mounting her thrown as Justin and I dealt with the soiled linens. Currently she is curled up under the blanket as I type, it's great to know that she is feeling more comfortable here.

I realize this is stating the obvious but, I am usually clueless when it comes to beauty products, hair care etc. Today, I am going to attempt to dye my hair so wish me luck. I just loathe the salon experience and I usually end up spending 2+ hours, $100+ and not liking it. My student budget will thank me if I learn how to do it. Fingers crossed!

A hurricane is supposed to roll through here tomorrow/monday. I don't think it will disrupt my first week of classes but I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for reading,
